What Do Electrofusion Fittings Do?

What Do Electrofusion Fittings Do?

Plastic pipe systems frequently use electrofusion fittings, a particular kind of pipe fitting. They are made to link two or more plastic pipes, creating a sturdy connection that can resist the rigours and strains of regular use.

The basic idea behind electrofusion fittings is to fuse the two pipes together by melting the plastic at the junction with an electric current. This is accomplished by positioning the electrofusion fitting over the pipe’s end and applying an electrical current to the fitting with specialised electrofusion welding equipment. The fitting and the surrounding plastic become heated by this current, then melt and fuse. 

One of its key benefits is that electrofusion fittings are highly durable and dependable. The plastic is melted at the connecting site to form the joint, which results in a smooth and nearly unbreakable bond. This indicates that even under extreme strain or stress, the joint has a considerably lower chance of failing over time.

Electrofusion fittings are also quick and simple to install. It takes a few minutes to finish the junction and no other materials or tools are required because the plastic melts quickly. When there is restricted access to the pipes or cases where time is of the utmost importance, such as emergency repairs, electrofusion fittings are the perfect choice.

Furthermore, these fittings are very adaptable and useful in a variety of applications. They are frequently employed in industrial and agricultural settings, as well as in plumbing and drainage systems. They can be used to make connections of various forms and sizes with different plastic tubings, such as polyethene, polypropylene and PVC.
